Add post on 2024 developer summit

[stefanv]

Hi all,

I've been meaning to get news of the summit out, but then summer happened. Here is a first draft, and I'd be grateful if you can comment on / correct / flesh out the pieces that you were involved with. Don't be shy to push to my branch, I'll do a last round of language editing before posting.

I just worked through the worklog, so it is quite possible that I missed some work items. Feel free to add them in!

(Does JPEG need any further compression?)

[tupui]

This is amazing, thanks for the write up ✨ Concise, punchy, still lots of info 👍 Can't wait to do more of these with you all!!

JPG

239 KB is ok I would say 👍

If you've left comments, I'll add you as a co-author, unless you object! And if you'd be happy to be included regardless of whether you've commented, simply reply below :)

[nabobalis]

Just a really and I mean really nitpicky comment. I typically do one sentence per line for text so its easier to diff.

[tupui]

That's a linter thing 😉

[stefanv]

Yes! Usually, I do too :)

What I'd love is a linter that is able to break on newlines, but unwrap each line. I've been searching for a long time but without success.

[stefanv]

Hey, presto 🪄

[nabobalis]

Actually if someone does know of a linter or program that does that, I would love to be told.

Thanks @stefanv!

[bsipocz]

I love this post as is 💖

Maybe also add the other group picture we took by the late, at least the previous summit post had multiple photos.

The major work thing that many of us were side tracking during the summit was submitting the NASA proposals, but I don't think that needs to be mentioned.

Sure! Do you have a copy? @juanis2112?

[nabobalis]

Thanks for putting this together @stefanv

[dschult]

This is really well done Stefan! Your love for the group and the event and the individuals shows itself despite being implicit. Huzzah!

[jarrodmillman]

This looks great!

[rossbar]

Indeed, thanks @stefanv - this is a great summary. These summits are always fantastic - can't wait for the next one!

[melissawm]

This looks great, thanks for the writeup @stefanv !

[drammock]

Great write-up.
Notably absent is any mention of matplotlib, @ksunden and @QuLogic any highlights you want to add?

[lagru]

Thanks @stefanv. Reads nicely!

[stefanv]

Does anyone have a photo of Sophia trashing us in chess? Perhaps @ivanov?

There's one photo here: https://discord.com/channels/786703927705862175/1235328192294817912/1247747552720322600

there's a google drive folder linked from https://discord.com/channels/786703927705862175/1235328192294817912/1247750578898210819 (I never requested access, as I never took any pictures) but maybe more in there?

[stefanv]

Thanks, I have those photos; I was hoping to get a nice action shot, let's see what crops up.

[stefanv]

@larsoner @seberg @MridulS You approved, but can I also add you as authors?

[larsoner]

Yes feel free!

[sanketverma1704]

Thanks for working on this, @stefanv.

Checks the 3C list: Clear, concise and crisp. 😄

[QuLogic]

Notably absent is any mention of matplotlib, @ksunden and @QuLogic any highlights you want to add?

Hmm, definitely documentation-related items: @larsoner and I fixed some intersphinx issues in sphinx-gallery, @steppi and I discussed translations for the Matplotlib website, and I discussed sphinx-tags with @melissawm.

We also endorsed some SPECs on behalf of the Matplotlib project.

[stefanv]

@QuLogic Do you want to propose a sentence or two to add?

[stefanv]

I've added the matplotlib updates, and I've updated the post date to tomorrow.

If someone can take a last look and merge tomorrow (30 September), I'd appreciate it.

[nabobalis]

Thank you @stefanv and all the reviewers!

[stefanv]

If anyone feels strongly about the chess photo, let me know and I'll add it as an update :)

[bsipocz]

FWIW, I would love to see a chess photo, or chess being mentioned :)
